On Sunday May 15, 2011, the Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites will host the Jazzy Blues Brunch with Mayor Kim Driscoll – a fundraising event to support Salem Main Streets – a non-profit organization whose goal is the revitalization of downtown Salem as a vibrant year-round, retail, dining and cultural destination.
With a tantalizing full brunch buffet and live jazz music provided by local sensation Whose Muddy Shoes, Jazzy Blues Brunch will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at 225 Derby Street on Pickering Wharf. This year’s event is sponsored in part by The Salem Waterfront Hotel, Eastern Bank, the Peabody Essex Museum, Bernard’s Jewelers, Pamplemousse, Signatures, Ron Elken Computer Doctor and Betsy Day.
“At Salem Main Streets, we’re excited about the first annual Jazzy Blues Brunch. We hope many Salem residents and neighbors attend this fun event,” states Jennifer Bell, Salem Main Streets Manager. “The funds that are raised will enable us to continue wonderful initiatives that serve the community. These initiatives include the upcoming Salem Farmers’ Market, Salem Arts Festival, Salem Health and Wellness Week, Haunted Happenings and the Salem Information Booth. I would like thank our event sponsors and Mayor Driscoll for her ongoing support,” she concludes.
